So first we are learning that we can insert values into strings using interpolation as we did with greeting. Note the bracket is escaped with a backslash.

Second we are learning that we can concatenate strings together with the plus operator as we did with the finalGreeting. Note the space is in the literal string because the concatenation does not include spaces.

let name = "John"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

thank you
